Bio

Hello. I am Marle. I am a writer writing under various names and I do projects.

In the last 10 years, most of my work has been around refining and grasping my purpose, and the meaning of my work, and mastering my skills as a researcher and project manager. It has also been about trying to offer a different perspective on the role of citizens in facilitating the transition towards a sustainable system of consumption and production, inspiring people and guiding them in whatever mastery journey they were on. This blog has been appearing daily or weekly for almost a decade. My main inspiration for the creation of this blog is Seth's Blog. I was inspired by the simplicity of his outputs as well as the dedication and consistency. 

I've spent most of my professional life as a community builder in the charity and voluntary sectors. I also worked for local government and universities. I've also used my skills and abilities freelance for various starting companies focusing on sustainability, mental health, health and wellbeing as well as within the art and socially engaged art practices. Learn more about my projects (here).

I enjoy writing content for websites and building them (e.g. Leicester Fixers Eugenie Bitty Arts). I've written most blog posts on Quetzal and worked with graphic designers, website builders and volunteers to bring it all together. I also manage various Instagram and Facebook pages.

I enjoy collaboration and projects and ultimately discussing ideas that will inspire change. 

Enjoy the blog

I am amongst those people I completed my doctorate in the field of Design for Sustainable Behaviour and I looked at the factors influencing people to repair small electrical items. I took the opportunity during my doctorate to organise repair events, and a festival to engage people with this concept of repair. Then, in my discussion, there were some elements about the impacts of poor design decisions on women's wellbeing and sense of worth. I thought that if I had to focused on violence towards women, I would like to focus on the worst. When I submitted my thesis, I looked for a position in gender-based violence field. I wanted it to be part-time so I could pursue my other passions such as writing, arts, travelling, gardening, appreciating the idle time while looking after my family. I also wanted to work closed from home. Quetzal, a charity bas...

The Listeners by Walter De La Mare

  The Listeners BY  WALTER DE LA MARE ‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller,       Knocking on the moonlit door; And his horse in the silence champed the grasses       Of the forest’s ferny floor: And a bird flew up out of the turret,       Above the Traveller’s head: And he smote upon the door again a second time;       ‘Is there anybody there?’ he said. But no one descended to the Traveller;       No head from the leaf-fringed sill Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,       Where he stood perplexed and still. But only a host of phantom listeners       That dwelt in the lone house then Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight       To that voice from the world of men: Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,...
